day 1

DAY 1

Monday...but not a typical Monday....it was Presidents Day, so the kids were home. This morning Braden had a dr. appt to do a well being and weight check for the medication he takes. I was going to work at Cooks and Company for awhile, like ive been doing every Monday, so the kids were gonna hang at Nana Margies. So we went to McDonalds...yes im a good mom, i feed my kids McDs on the run, dropped Fin off at Nanas, and flew to the Dr. We were there an hour to learn Brady hadn't gained any weight since August......good times. So he got the go ahead to eat whatever he wants whenever...calories, calories, calories. I wish someone would tell me that!! We ran back to Nanas to drop off Braden then I flew back downtown to Cooks. There I cleared Valentines displays, condensed the new Valentine sale stuff, did a few flower arrangements, took down the upside down Christmas tree and did a St. Pattys display. Then home I flew. Mom was at my house by now so Fin could nap......which she didnt....."im not tired". Mom left and the kids and I watched some tv for awhile. I then decided what to cook for dinner.....hadnt many options, so the grocery store is on the agenda today (tuesday) and headed up to the playroom to START to go through the pile that is Christmas, Fin Bday and Braden Bday gifts....made some progress. Made kids dinner, started Sean and I's, and then took the kids upstairs for a bath. Sean got home about this point (745 ish) and we headed back down to chill for the rest of the evening.....
Whew.....
On to Tuesday....

The picture above is of our back hallway where we hang coats/hats/scarves/bags.....shoes go here too. There are lidded cubbies in the bench and flip open cubbies above. We were going to do lockers, but felt they were too confining so this is a lockerless locker area.
